In 1968, Holland, Dozier and Holland left Motown to start their own label, and Berry Gordy sued them for breach of contract. The suit and resulting countersuit were the music industry’s version of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce from Charles Dickens’ Bleak House. It went on for nine years before the court had H-D-H pay Gordy a token settlement.

Thanks to the litigation, H-D-H was forced to use the names Edythe Wayne and Wayne/Dunbar to write their songs for their own label. They had two hits in 1970 for their artists.

By 1974 they went their own separate ways.

H-D-H was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. The threesome changed music history.
